Youngsoo was casually at her desk typing away on her laptop. She looks over at Jimin who is intensely tapping the keys with his eyebrows furrowed, “did you see the promotional photo our graphic designer did? Looks good!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hFOshTbW2
Jimin was still typing, ever since the meeting he was super annoyed and overworked himself.

She sighs and throws a piece of paper at him, “honey, don’t let what that guy said to you ruin your mood! It’s just another nosy reporter, you know how they are.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgPRyO5Ddh
Her statement made Jimin scoot back his chair and lean back, “my bad...it’s just stressful you know? I want this to go smoothly.” He looks over at Youngsoo whose chair was turned towards him, “I bet you’re happy though.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9O69tmrxx
She frowns. “For what?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIIhQAfGxA
Jimin chuckles, “for the show, we will have tons of little daughters.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTFsO2509u
Youngsoo gave a smile gently rubbing her belly, “maybe we will have one of our own!” After saying that Jimin gives a playful gasp, “hey! It might be a boy! I want a Jimin Jr!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX6bPYQJHL
Youngsoo giggles, “we are not having a junior.” Jimin pouts, “c’mon! It’d be so cute! Just imagine us in an argument and you get confused!” She rolls her eyes and glances at her computer, “you didn’t answer my question though, did you see the photo?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY20zUApGE
“Oh!” Jimin nods and clicks around, “I saw that, he wants to put posters around town...” He taps a pen on the side of his head, “making a promotional video would be good.” He raises a finger and points to the screen, “also the dorms are almost done being built!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJjlf94G30
Youngsoo gives a happy clap halfway turned to her computer, “public auditions are in 5 days, how many entries we got?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpaBdoonlB
Jimin whistled shaking his head, “man...it’s so many, we have 236 entries, but we need to make it at least 200 so we can cut from there in five days.” He writes some numbers down on the piece of paper, “after public auditions, the girls can move into the dorms and we can begin, but before that...” he sighs already stressed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUnWKqg7m1
Youngsoo reaches over and takes his paper, “during the auditions, we need to figure out how many people we want to stay in the dorms. Not all 200 will make it. We will need at least 100 left to move into the dorms.” She taps away on the phone.

“Front office.” The voice speaks on the other side.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU4W6VWOH1
While Youngsoo types she leans slightly to the phone speaker, ‘please call up our assistant director Taejin.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr3MQL4KpS
Beep!
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw1Ebztgf9
“There.” She nods firmly and looks back at Jimin, “does the 100 at the end of the auditions in five days sound fine?” He gives a thumbs up, “yeah...I just have one problem though.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjat2RLed4f
“What?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKNOMFplx0
He pulls out his chair and walks around in front of their desks, “with all the age differences and possible language barriers, I pray there isn’t any bullying, you know how girls are.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADNuswNGNe
Youngsoo was a victim of bullying in high school due to a slight limp in her left foot. She was in a car accident when she was 12, killing both her parents leaving her to have a phobia of cars and never learning how to drive. Before she could speak, their assistant Taejin walks in happily then bows to them both, “good morning! I heard you needed some help!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vvZL206yj
Taejin was a new 40-year-old with a bright personality. She went to school with Jimin in middle school and even studied abroad in Chicago, Illinois to major in music. She was their right hand and was always there in case of anything. Taejin was also a newlywed and had two sons aged 13 and 9.

Jimin nods and shakes her hand, “it’s a pleasure to have you here, please sit.” He motions to one of the chairs before going back behind his desk. Taejin slightly skips over and sits down pulling her laptop out of the bag, “so out of the 236 entries, I already see 1 that needs to be removed.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT3w6lZTY4
Youngsoo looks up from her own desktop and gasps, “who? It’s good you already found one!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza7otU5OpI
Taejin nods firmly, “yes ma’am. I am having tech crew do background checks on everyone and there is a half Korean Australian girl rumored to be a bully in middle school.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqGrrZe2eC
That last sentence made Jimin groan, “I swear, when will someone not have any bullying accusations!” He rubs his hands across his face and then huffs, “how old is she?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWf3Sxeix4
Taejin bites her lip, “she’s 19.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmaAiZIm7o
“Well...” Youngsoo starts but Jimin holds up a hand, “if she is 19, she must know better than to bring any of that trash into the competition. She can stay but keep her under watch please.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6xvgtVtxl
Youngsoo shakes her head and crosses her arms, “are you sure? We can’t risk a 50/50 chance of having a possible bully in the show! Don't you remember we have minors?”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmUGmFJxrh
“I do agree sir.” Taejin nods, “this could be a risk. We have a clean slate and I know you wouldn’t want to ruin that image.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81oN0peXAb
“Think about this though...” Jimin speaks slowly, “people bring up this stuff years after it happened, and you said...she was in middle school?” Taejin nods, “then she should be grown from it.” Youngsoo contemplates on that looking over at Taejin, “at the end of the day Taejin, all we can do is go with what your team suggests.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sn6ofDYUy
Jimin clasps his hands together, “well love, you and the fashion crew can also start creating the survival show uniform, and then the shirts for games and practices!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nt0JaobwG
Youngsoo got so happy and looked at Taejin, “fashion meeting tomorrow at 12.”
